On the drone issue:
Typical Kremlin tactics: pushing the limits & borders of the enemy.
Then spread 5 or so different narratives. Result: confusion, uncertainty & doubt & escaping accountability.

As a Swede I’m kinda grateful for him making us finally join NATO, although if Russia weren’t existing as the imperialistic aggressor it always been - there wouldn’t be a need for NATO in the first place.

(Disclaimer: I’m not really grateful until the Russian empire collapse for good.)

Not necessarily, but the fascistic movements were seeing today have the theocratic focus in my view.
Axis of theocrats, which religion isn’t important for them as long as priests & king get to rule.
That’s what MAGA mean with “the golden age”
August 18, 2025 at 7:50 PM
Not really fascism per se, I think it’s more of different blends of theocracy.
Bannon & Dugin in Russia are open Traditionalists.

Refreshing though that someone is holding Russia accountable for its statements & charades.
Should been done ages ago by state leaders etc.

Finally everyone seem to have realised that it’s. all empty threats and charade.
The emperors are all naked

If MSM want to be relevant in the future they will have to, and up their critical thinking game.
With the advent of LLMs someone will have to produce quality consequence neutral information.

He has studied & made long term interviews with Bannon since B. happened to say he’s a follower of Traditionalism.
An obscure philosophy of religion that Teitelbaum came in contact with when researching far, far, far right movements in Sweden.
It’s far out stuff for sure.

If you’re interested in the religion/ideology and want to make sense of their inner logic/madness I urge you to take a look at Benjamin Teitelbaum’s work
Makes sense of how maga/wellness/hippies/anti wax/old skol nazis/russians/christian right etc is connected

Agreed that Maga wants to go back to pre-enlightenment days though.
Brothers in faith & ideology:
Dugin in russia and Bannon in the US is probably 2 of the greatest threats of civilisation right now.
They believe in the esoteric bullshit that inspired the Nazis.

I see quite a few issues though.
Gerrymandering, lobbying, the issue with guns; and too much power concentrated to one or few individuals.
That T can affect global economics with his tweets is one clear sign I would say.
But that’s a humongous discussion, probably best for another day and forum 😀

American democracy seem to be in need for modernization in my and other outsiders viewpoint.
No system is perfect, but I see some issues with a system that is rigged for 2 parties only
Also the fundamentalist view on the constitution, laws should adapt & evolve with the times. It isn’t 1790 anymore
July 18, 2025 at 9:16 PM
Also an issue.
How many of his shenanigans TACO-whims are ill hidden market manipulation?
He more or less admitted it the other day when he said that he can control the market with his “truths”/tweets
One have to give it to him he managed to pull off what is probably the greatest con-job in history

The blatant and fully open corruption is chocking me as a European.
They even brag about it.
The Trump-cryptocoin is the definition of a scam/corruption.
Using the Oval Office chair to blow up value of something inherently worthless.

To clarify: in 1920 Central Europe the economic state was a consequence of WW1 and the death of autocracy and the birth of democracy.
The US today seems like the intentional creation of crisis and regression of democracy.
Essence of MAGA : set it all on fire and go back centuries.
July 18, 2025 at 1:16 PM
Yes, morals & ethics aside - it would have been a wise strategic & business choice

US 2020:ies start to look as Central European 1920:ies

Det viktigaste är inte att alltid göra rätt, utan göra saker med glädje.
Att lära sig saker av andra & dela med mig av kunskap tycker jag är glädjande.

Ja, ungefär det jag skrev:
Ingen aning, höga & rättfärdiga av hormoner.
Därför ideologier & religiösa alltid utnyttjar dem.
Varför tror ni partierna har ungdomsförbund?
Fanns både kommunister, nazister & jehovas när jag var ung blev folk av dem oxå
Konsekvenstänk är inte utvecklat innan 20årsåldern

Det är en ung tonåring, de kan vara anarkister på morgonen moderater vid lunch & kommunister till kvällen.
De har ingen aning samtidigt som de är kokta i huvet av hormoner.
